OMG! Ms Ashenden has done it again! What a
fabulous story! So powerfully emotional, beautifully written and a must
read. To see this “Damaged Bastard Beast” Nero de Santis come to life
at the hands of and with the help of the prim and proper British
assistant; Phoebe Taylor was a real page turner.

Phoebe needs this job badly and the huge salary that comes with it. You
see she has been caring for her fiancé who is in a coma for the last
two years and her savings are running out but when she arrives for her
interview she meets a beast and cruel beast who demands her time and
her soul but the ever caring and hard-working Phoebe takes on the
challenge and sees through him and is determined to find out why he is
the way he is.

Nero has not left his house for 10 years and when you find out why have
tissues at the ready. Everything the billionaire needs comes to him. He
is demanding and forceful and always gets what he wants and he is in
desperate need of a new assistant. He has been through so many in the
past few months, surely there is someone who can do the job? And
finally it looks like that person has arrived.

Phoebe and Nero are the perfect fit they are made for each other in my
opinion. This story has everything. Nero is so demanding and Phoebe
cannot deny the pull between them. He brings out the best in her
sexually and she is such a caring person and what she does for Nero and
what he does for her had me crying. Truly, this is a gorgeous story of
strength, emotion, courage and a sizzling romance that will make your
hair curl. Do yourself a favour and sit back comfortably with this one
because you are not going to want to put it down. Thank you so much, Ms
Ashenden, I loved it. Nero is to die for.

I loved Skye Warren's Beauty series and His For Christmas and her writing is excellent but this just is too dark for me. I know it is branded as dark erotica and I thought that I would take a chance on the novella / prequel to the series...

Even though the world this book is based in consists of elves and are one of my favorite character races to read about (which was why I got excited and picked up this prequel) reading this did not make me want to run out and grab the fir...
